Question

Monochromatic light of wavelength 589 nm in incident from air on a water surface. λ1 and λ2 are the wavelength of reflected and refracted light respectively, v1 and v2 are the velocities of reflected and refractive light, respectively. [Refractive index of water is 1.33] The velocities of reflected and refracted light is v1 and v2, respectively. Then, (v1/v2) is (ratio of frequency) is (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

On reflection and refraction, frequency of light remains the same. v2′​v2​​=1

On reflection and refraction, frequency of light remains the same.
$\frac{v _{2}}{v _{2}^{'}} = 1$
